Alex Mowatt

Alex James Mowatt (born 13 February 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL Championship club West Bromwich Albion.

[3] Mowatt captained Leeds Under 18s team managed by Richard Naylor and led the Under 18s to win the Under 18 League Championship during the 2012–13 season.

[4] The Yorkshire Evening Post's Phil Hay said that Mowatt's performances and style of play was reminiscent to a young Barry Ferguson.

[14] After picking up an injury against Birmingham City on 26 April 2014[15] and a long spell out injured,[16] he returned to the Leeds starting 11 making his first appearance of the season against Bolton Wanderers on 30 August 2014.

[21] After getting three goals and two assists in November, on 4 December Mowatt was shortlisted for the Championship's Player of the Month award,[22] but lost out to Brentford's Andre Gray.

[28] His ninth goal of the season came on 6 April in a 4–3 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers with Mowatt scoring a curling long range effort.

[29] On 9 April, after rumoured Premier League interest in Mowatt and teammates Lewis Cook, Charlie Taylor and Sam Byram, head coach Neil Redfearn challenged Leeds United's owners to keep a hold of their home grown talents.

Mowatt arrived under significant pressure to fill the vacancy left by Conor Hourihane who had departed to Aston Villa earlier in the transfer window.

[42] Mowatt was sent a season-long loan to Oxford United on 31 August 2017[43] after failing to make the impact desired by manager Paul Heckingbottom.

Barnsley instead elected to sign Gary Gardner on a season-long loan from Aston Villa to fill the gap in central midfield.

[45] On 12 January 2019, Mowatt put in a man of the match performance in a 3–0 victory against Bradford City, assisting the first two goals for Jacob Brown and Kieffer Moore and scoring the third himself.

[50] On 2 July 2021, West Bromwich Albion announced Mowatt had followed former Barnsley coach Valérien Ismaël in joining the club.
